Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

The more men pray, the less worldly they become. The less they pray, the more worldly they become. I am, of course, speaking of professing Christians at this point.

I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history let's make (some) by the grace of God

No faith is required to do the possible actually only a morsel of this atom-powered stuff is needed to do the impossible, for a piece as large as a mustard seed will do more than we have ever dreamed of.

I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. ... To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.

The church as we know it today seems a million miles from the New Testament church. That may be a great generalization, but I will stand on it. There is a gulf between our average Christianity and the church of New Testament that makes the Grand Canyon look like a cavity in someone's tooth.

The tragedy in our colleges and seminaries right now is that we turn men out who know the word of God. That is never going to turn the world. The question is not whether they know the Word of God.... The question is......Do they know the God of the Word?

Everyone wants to be clothed but no one wants to be stripped.

Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

If Thou canst do something with us and through us, then please, God, do something without us! Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not!

Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!

We're living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We've changed the terminology-- iniquity is now infirmity wickedness is now weakness devilry is now deficiency.
